Freshman shortstop Scott Donaghue went 3-for-4 with his first career home run and two RBIs. He made some key plays with his glove as well.

“I’ve been impressed with Scott since the first time I saw him in New Jersey as a junior when we signed him,” Gooley said. “He’s smooth defensively and working hard on the offensive side of the house. He’s gonna be a very good college player.”

Bobcats sophomore pitcher Ryan Walsh made his first start of the season, pitching five innings and giving up six earned runs. He’s 0-1 on the season with a 4.91 ERA.

“He’s a gutsy kid,” Gooley said. “He gave up a couple of tough pitches, but I thought he did a solid job. He’s worth giving another chance to.”

Huskies junior L.J. Mazzilli hit his team-leading eighth home run in today’s game. He also leads the team with a .360 average.
